Strains IMCC4489T and IMCC4451 shared 99.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 78.5 % DNA–DNA relatedness, which suggested that they belonged to the same species. The isolates were most closely related to Reinekea blandensis MED297T (98.7–98.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Reinekea marinisedimentorum DSM 15388T (95.3–95.4 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between the strains and R. blandensis CCUG 52066T was 31–34 %. Strains IMCC4489T and IMCC4451 could also be differentiated from the type strains of the two recognized Reinekea species by several phenotypic properties. The DNA G+C content was 51.3–51.5 mol% and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, it is proposed that strains IMCC4489T and IMCC4451 represent a novel species, Reinekea aestuarii sp. nov. The type strain is IMCC4489T (=KCTC 22813T =KCCM 42938T =NBRC 106079T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.018739-0
